Wistarias^ For training over buildings, 

 piazzas, verandas or trellises, th e Wistaria 

 isof superior excellence, and the decorative 

 features which their long, graceful blos- 

 soms affords make a particularly pleasing 

 effect. They are entirely hardy, rapid grow- 

 ers and easy to cultivate. They may be 

 trained to a shrub form of habit by paying 

 attention to pruning, by cutting away the 

 new growth for several seasons.

Oar Leading Specialty in Plants, 



We call special attention to our stock of 

 Palms, which is the largest and most com- 

 plete in the Sonth. Our stock of Phcenix 

 alone requires a large greenhouse, and all 

 other varieties on hand in proportionate 

 quantities. 



SPECIAL NOTICE. 



Our measurements of plants, where given, 

 as in the case of Palms, etc., means the 

 height of the plant from the top of the pot 

 to the top of the plant inits natural position. 

 We make this explanation of our way of 

 measuring, as many growers contend that 

 the proper measurement is from the bottom 

 of the pot to the tip of the longest leaf, and 

 make their offers in that way.
